Coalition for Smart Growth

We are looking forward to seeing you on Friday!

On 🎶 🎶 on September 15, from 5 – 9 PM, Lancaster will be joining cities and countries around the world by temporarily repurposing downtown street parking spaces and converting them into tiny parks and places for art, play, and activism.

Join the Lancaster Parking Authority and the Coalition for Smart Growth, along with four local businesses and non-profit organizations along the 100 (Ewell Plaza) through 300 Block of North Queen Street in Downtown Lancaster. These groups will join the Music Friday celebration to pause, have fun, imagine, and expand how we can temporarily re-use the public realm.
